You and Azriel were mates, though he claimed he were no such thing. He liked Elain, obviously. Yes, Elain was nice, she was a really good friend of yours, and dare say she was pretty. But she was already mated to Lucien, and you didn’t see the point of Azriel liking her despite that fact. Perhaps it was because it made sense, the three Bat Boys with the three Archeron sisters.As Cassian’s sister, you thought he’d at least treat you like a friend, like he did with the rest of the Inner Circle. You’d grown up with him and Rhys, after all.

You and Elain were told to stay out the House Of Wind while everyone else went on a mission. In the mean time, a few hours after they left, a group of Hybern soldiers came in, stabbing Elain and leaving without a clue they ever came in. The Inner Circle came back, and saw Elain on the ground with a bleeding wound in her stomach. You were crouched beside her, blood on your hands as you were suppressing her wound earlier, scissors beside you since you had to cut the bandages for her wound. But it looked entirely different to the Inner Circle. The blood on your hands, the scissors, Elain’s wound. It made it seem like you stabbed her. Azriel rushed to Elain, picking her up as he kneeled. He looked at you, an angry expression painting his face. “You sadistic woman, why would you do this?” He hissed, you sat up, opening your mouth to speak, “It wasn’t me, a group of Hyb-“ He interrupted you. “Bullsh!t, don’t give me that. Don’t give me an excuse for hurting her.” He snarled. “Az, I-“ “It’s Azriel to you.” He said, scooping her in his arms and standing up.
